Was this song ahead of it's time?

Jimmy LaFave released this in 2007. He died in 2017 so we cannot ask him but it is as if he wrote this song about the last 4 years and hopefully he would be happy to see that yes indeed we will get our country back again

Cause I went driving
Through the American night
And I slowly watched my freedoms
Disappear right out of sight
Traveling through this land

It’s the only thing I know
To say my friend
I simply want my country back again

Cause I see people
Just stranded by the road
They’re hopeless and forgotten
Where all the milk and honey flows
Traveling through this land

Since he wasn't very old I believe that he was talking about the deviations to America that the Biden administration did to America.
He wanted his country back again just like all of us sane people.
Great, mellow country song. The backdrop looks like Nashville, Tennessee 🙂

Can't be talking about illegals, that's for sure.

He could have been describing the 1930s and up to WWII, as well. But with all the poverty and homelessness, it is also apt for today.
